After a day-long fast during Ramadan, many look for quick, satisfying, and flavorful snacks. These easy iftar snacks can be prepared quickly, making them ideal for busy evenings on fasting days.
Blend some dates with roasted almonds, walnuts, and a spoonful of cocoa. Roll the mixture to make small balls and keep them in the refrigerator. It is naturally sweet and is perfect to break your fast.
Mix some sliced chicken with basic spices and some grated cheese. Take bread slices and fill the stuffing in between, roll them tightly, and shallow fry until it turns golden and crisp on both sides.
Toss some boiled sweet corn with chopped onions, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of chaat masala. It is juicy, spicy, and tangy and feels enjoyable after fasting hours.
Layer the store-bought papdi with some whisked yoghurt, mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and sev. It is sweet, spicy, crunchy, and feels creamy in every bite, and can also be prepared in minutes.
Cook the spiced minced meat until it turns dry. Stuff it into small dough balls and pan-cook the paratha. It is soft, full of flavour and satisfying without being overly heavy.
Place the banana slices and chocolate in the spring roll sheets. Roll, fry, and dust them with sugar. The crispy shell with warm, melting filling inside makes you go for a second bite.
